The Name Revelation
In a candid moment, the interviewer, Nigel Wrench, inquires about using Banksy’s real name. The response? “Robbie.” While this opens up possibilities (could he be Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack, or perhaps Robin Gunningham?), it’s a rare peek behind the curtain of the elusive artist.
Banksy on Graffiti and Art
Banksy’s views on graffiti are clear: it’s vandalism if it’s illegal, but that’s part of its charm. He sees the city as a playground for expression, where painting and repainting are part of an ongoing dialogue. His approach to art? Quick and impactful, much like the fleeting nature of street art itself.
Banksy’s Take on the Art Establishment
Banksy remains detached from the traditional art world, expressing disinterest in the ‘Brit Art’ movement and a pointed avoidance of selling to figures like Charles Saatchi. His focus is on art that resonates with the public, rather than seeking approval from the elite.
